Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Excelsior Springs High School. While it's a smaller school, I think it allows for deeper connections. Teachers truly care about their students, and you aren't just a number.

It is a great school, teacher and faculty care. Yet, just like any other school there are weak points.

I love the community and the atmosphere at Excelsior Springs High School. Most of the teachers are so caring and make it obvious that they are here to help and teach. They did their best to help me feel welcome in their classrooms. A few teachers would single me out and when I went to administration I felt as though nothing was done to help me or that they were not taking me seriously. I would like to see more effort made to benefit the safety and well-being of the students.
